Getting To Know Tiara Pajimola

Favorite part of campus and why: My favorite
part of campus is the back 40 and the soccer game field. I trained
all summer on the back 40 so it was the first part of Whitworth
that I spent a lot of time with. The game field is just a luxury to
me. It is the nicest field I have ever played on and it’s an
honor to play on it representing the Pirates.
Why you chose Whitworth: I chose Whitworth because I
wanted to stay in Spokane and I heard great things about the
community and the quality of education here. Everyone that I have
gotten the privilege to meet have all been genuinely kind and
it’s a pleasure to be a part of this institution.

Pre-game ritual/superstitions: I put on all of
my left gear first. Left shin sleeve, then right. Left sock, then
right. Left boot, then right.

Something people would be surprised to find out about
you: I hate running.

Chore do you absolutely hate doing: I’m not
a big fan of cleaning out the litter box.

Favorite TV show/movie and why:Remember
the Titans and Miracle are my all-time favorites. I
find them both very inspirational, plus Denzel Washington is the
man.

Favorite Superhero: Perry the Platypus

Favorite Food: Ice cream

Favorite quote: “Where you invest your
love, you invest your life.”

If you could learn to do anything, what would it
be? Teleport

What word do you have trouble saying? Develop.
Not that I can’t say it, I just hate the way it sounds.

What is one thing that you want to do before you
die? Do something for somebody who could never repay
me.

Name the last movie you watched:How to
Train Your Dragon

What’s your favorite holiday and why? My
favorite holiday is Christmas. I love having all of my family and
friends in town and spending time with all of them. My family is
known for our inability to play games together but we always have a
good time and share many laughs. Family is the most important thing
in life to me.
